DEMAND TRUMP’S TAX RETURNS
Trump refuses to release his tax returns. It’s no surprise that scrutiny of those records might well expose outright criminal fraud.
A New York Times report reveals in part:
- As Fred Trump bailed Donald out of one financial failure after another, $413 million was funneled to his son through real estate transfer schemes, shell companies and other fraudulent financial activities.
- Fred Trump’s children, including Donald, inherited over $1 billion dollars (wealth accumulated partly through federal housing subsidies).
- Trump and the family business used an astounding number of shady maneuvers to evade hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes on all of it.
The Trump appointed head of the IRS appears unlikely to investigate these allegations. In November, a new Congress must take action and . . .
Force Trump to Release his Tax Returns!
Here in Oregon, Measure 103 is a fraudulently deceptive attempt to lock tax loopholes for large corporate supermarkets into our state constitution. It’s vaguely worded and freezes the minimum corporate tax for supermarkets. If Measure 103 passes it will allow corporate tax evasion in Oregon.
Defeat Measure 103!
**ACTION ONE: CALL OUR SENATORS**
“My name is [Name]. I am a constituent and voter living in ZIP code [number]. The New York Times report presents credible evidence that Donald Trump committed tax fraud. I want to thank the Senator, as the ranking member on the Finance Committee, for calling on the IRS to investigate. I ask that when Congress reconvenes in November that the Senator continue to demand an investigation and the release of Trump’s tax returns. Thank you.”

**ACTION TWO: CALL COMPLICIT GREG WALDEN**
“My name is [Name]. I am a constituent and voter living in ZIP code [number]. The New York Times report presents credible evidence that Donald Trump committed tax fraud. Any tax paying, law abiding American would demand the release of Trump’s tax returns and an investigation into any possible fraud. Why does Greg Walden continue to remain silent about Trump’s obvious criminal activities? Has he lost—or never really had—any sense of patriotism, of country before party and POTUS? Silence is complicity. He has truly become an embarrassment to rank and file Oregonians. Thank you.”
